206 Chapter 200

206 Xue Yan: Gossip is a far-reaching science.

As for why the day of coming to Yangzhou was deliberately set on the Dragon Boat Festival? It was because Xue Yan sealed the evil spirit on this day in the first place.

Speaking of which, after sealing the evil qi in Master Ming Fei's relics, in the past three years, not only has the evil qi not weakened by half a point, but he has no clue how to deal with it.

The only consolation is that the evil has not worsened.

It must be said that in the face of this supernatural thing, Xue Yan thinks that it is already the blessing of the Buddha to be able to maintain such a state of neither good nor bad.

Therefore, even if it is just to maintain this status quo, Xue Yan and others dare not take it lightly.

In addition to Xue Yan's daily recitation, imitating the scene of sealing the evil in the past, Xue Yan led the monks in the relics pagoda of Daming Temple during the Dragon Boat Festival, facing the relics and the corpse of the Ming ring that has not yet decayed, and holding a ritual ceremony, which is the suggestion of his master Huiyuan.

Xue Yan didn't know if this was effective...... But at the very least, it makes people feel more at ease when they do it. He therefore did not raise any objection.

- Of course, in the face of Xue Yan's father, Huiyuan naturally does not have such a set of rhetoric, and when he goes to Daming Temple once a year, each time it is only ten or twenty days, his father and mother can't refuse.

- Then again.

In Daming Temple, there are twenty or thirty novices who are close in age to Xue Yan, not to mention that the little nephew who is leading the way in front is not directly related to Huiyuan. Xue Yan only came here for a few days a year, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so familiar with the other party.

In fact, it was Xue Yan who deliberately befriended him.

- There are four reasons for this.

First of all, the ancestor of the little nephew, that is, Huiyuan's younger brother, is the person in charge of the guest hall who is in charge of the daily affairs inside and outside the temple and the reception of monks and lay guests. It is also the so-called "knowing the guest monk".

Since he is in charge of these, the people in the line of Senior Brother Huiyuan must naturally be much more well-informed than others.

Just rushing to this point, Xue Yan will not do anything against others.

Secondly, Senior Brother Huiyuan is still a firm abbot.

Yes, within the Daming Temple, there are factions.

Don't you all say that "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes"? Don't think that monks must be pure and untainted by the world, these words are simply used to fool some ignorant women and children. I really don't care about anything, I don't care about anything, I'm afraid that such a big mountain will have been forcibly occupied by someone a long time ago, and there is nowhere to reason!

However, the-for-tat inside the temple is far more harmonious than the outside ones, and that is true.

As far as Xue Yan knows, Daming Temple is now divided into three factions. Abbot Huiyuan is one faction, and it is natural that he is the most powerful, while the other two forces are slightly inferior.

One big and two small, usually in small things, there are often all kinds of small frictions. In terms of major events, many times it is still difficult for the abbot faction to do a word.

Fortunately, a group of monks are united and take the overall situation into account externally, no matter what they do internally.

For example, the Ming Ring is a pile.

If it was just a matter of one person, I was afraid that his master Huiyuan would not be able to suppress those different voices with all his might;

But when it comes to evil, it's different. These monks are not fools, needless to say the slightest carelessness, the evil overflow, it is a catastrophe, if people know that the evil comes from the Ming Jie-Ming Jie's origin in the end Ming Jie, others can not care whether they run away or not-then the consequences, for the Daming Temple, it is absolutely a disaster.

To sum up, as long as it can help deal with evil people and things, Daming Temple is warmly welcomed and actively cooperated-therefore, Xue Yan, who has the title of "reincarnated spirit child" and is still a lay disciple, was not questioned and troubled too much at the beginning. When his golden finger shines, there is even more.

Oh, of course, the secret of the secret of the evil spirit, the person in the Daming Temple who is not a high-ranking person and a confidant cannot know it.

Later, Xue Yan knocked on the side in all aspects, and found that those junior brothers and nephews who did not know the truth only thought that the atmosphere between the senior leaders of the temple was strange, but they attached great importance to him, the "reincarnated spirit child".

Third, given Xue Yan's identity as a reincarnated spirit child, whether it was the heavy responsibility of covering up evil or some other reason, he was always in the spotlight.

As a result, he can't have a good relationship with his brothers and nephews who are more high-status or have more important affairs. Even Huiyuan's direct family has to avoid suspicion.

Otherwise, it is very likely to cause a lot of unnecessary speculation on the part of others.

Therefore, Xue Yan simply broke his wrist and only played with his "peers" - he knew that most people generally believed that unless something happened to him, it was impossible for a child of his age to know something too deep - sure enough, after Xue Yan did this, many people were relieved and no longer stared at him.

Xue Yan snorted proudly in his heart about this-naïve, simply naïve! In fact, many times, children know that there are many of them!

This is also the last point - there are actually a lot of well-informed children in Daming Temple, why does Xue Yan take a fancy to the one in front of him?

To say that collecting information is essentially the same as collecting gossip.

So, what is the most important thing about this gossip, curiosity, interest, and means?...... Xue Yan believes that all of the above are secondary.

If you want to carry out the gossip to the end, the most important thing is actually to have "eyesight".

A gossip can be started to pay attention to because of the curiosity in the heart. But to what extent, to what extent, to continue to eight, or simply let go or even pretend not to see...... This is a great test of the gossip's eyesight. Otherwise, just holding a curiosity, but ignoring random investigation, it is not called gossip, it is called death!

The little nephew in front of him is a manufacturable material that has been secretly tested by Xue Yan for a long time and has successfully passed!

- Xue Yan's goal is to develop the other party into his first team member in Daming Temple. Therefore, in addition to making friends with ordinary intentions, they will also open a small stove for each other: such as quietly guiding each other when communicating with them, how to carry out gossip activities more flexibly, and so on.

- I don't know if it's because Xue Yan teaches well, or if the nephew is really talented in this area. No, the two chatted while walking, Xue Yan really heard a hot new gossip from the other party's mouth, oh no, it's new news:

“...... By the way, Uncle Xiao, on the back mountain road today...... Looks like something is wrong!"

"Something's wrong?" Xue Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Probably this matter is not simple, or it has not spread, Xiao Shami deliberately looked around, approached Xue Yan, and whispered.

But this little novice, who was cleaning the fallen leaves near the guest house today, suddenly saw a little brother dressed as a servant of a rich and noble family, galloping on a horse.

Of course, the little novice stepped forward at once, intending to lead the men to place the horses. The strange thing is that he was politely rejected by the other party, and only said that there was an urgent matter, and he wanted to find a senior brother who could take care of things.

So the little novice went and called a senior brother to come over. After exchanging words with the younger brother, the senior brother's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran to the front as if he was being chased by something.

After a while, the little novice saw an uncle, leading more than 20 senior brothers, down the mountain with the servant brother.

"Fifth Uncle, they've been gone for a long time!" After saying this, the little novice didn't snort.

Xue Yan thought that the other party was deliberately appetizing, so he asked casually, "Then what?"

When the little novice heard this, he wrinkled his little face and said dryly: "After that, I don't know after that." ”

Xue Yan: "......" tricking him?

Seeing this, the little novice hurriedly said, "I—I was waiting on the side to see what was going on. How do you know that I didn't wait for the fifth senior uncle, but I saw the seventh senior brother come back first......

The seventh senior brother caught me and said that he was instructed by the abbot to come to find you, but he couldn't get out of it all of a sudden, so he asked me to take you to the abbot. ”

The little novice spoke, with a look of frustration at being forced by his senior brother to arrange a task and the loss of not being able to continue gossiping.

And when Xue Yan heard these words, he understood: he is still strange today, why did this nephew come to ask him to find Huiyuan, it turned out that there was such a change.

On the other side of the mountain road...... It is certainly not a trivial matter that so many monks have been dispatched. Xue Yan thought again. By the way, they walked all the way just now, except for a few in the pavilion, and the monk benefactor next to them, they didn't see any of them...... Could it be that the nephew deliberately or was asked to take him on a detour?

No, it shouldn't be. This road is indeed the shortest route from the courtyard where he lives to the master's side-I think the master and nephew want to complete the task quickly and then continue to gossip-but there is a remote place here, and the front and back yards are a long distance away......

Thinking about it, Xue Yan suddenly said, "When you came over just now, did you hear that there was a lot of noise in the front hall?"

Xiao Shami tilted his head and recalled, "Yes...... Isn't it the fifth uncle, they are back? and then they all went to the front hall?...... Ah, I wish I could find out what happened!"

Having said that, the little novice still led the way dutifully. Seeing that Xue Yan was amused in his heart, he also nodded approvingly.

Well, it's really his little brother!

...... For a moment or three, they couldn't track the follow-up of the gossip, so they just analyzed it based on the existing information - by the way, teach this child what it means to "connect before and after" and "peel off the cocoon" - So, Xue Yan deliberately asked:

"Speaking of which, the people who came here today are basically only the relatives of each family, right?" 166 Reading Network
